CTA Bus
Most rides on CTA are taken by bus. Our bus system consists of 153 routes (covering 2,517 route miles). Buses make over 25,000 trips daily, and serve nearly 12,000 bus stops throughout the region. CTA bus routes serve communities locally, move people across town, and a number of express services are provided. Several routes also provide 24-hour service, known as "Owl Service."

CTA 'L' (Train Service)
Our rail system consists of train lines spanning the city and neighboring communities, and is known locally as "The 'L'." The service provided is described as "heavy rail rapid transit," also referred to as a "subway" or "metro" in many parts of the world.

The nickname 'L' is short for "elevated," a reference to the all-elevated beginnings of the system (even though, as just mentioned, parts of the system today are at or below ground).

Free transfer between all 'L' routes is available at designated locations (see route guides or maps for free transfer locations).
